Subject: Age in days
Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 11:04:44 -0500
Message-ID: <200509091104.45412.strivens@bcm.edu> (raw)

If you need to know the age to the nearest day on the present day
I think you can use something like:

select date_trunc('day',age(now(),dateofbirth)) from people

gives: 

3 years 2 mons 12 days

My questions is, is there any way to convert that figure into an age
expressed as a number days only?

Many thanks

Mark
